When I stumbled across BeccaMarie's tutorial for a swaddle baby,
I knew I had found not only the perfect gift for my
just-turned-one-year-old niece, but also another idea for Operation
Christmas Child boxes! It's a little more involved than the Nubbie dolls, but it's still pretty simple. I made it more complicated by
adding arms.

See the cute little arms? I totally cut those out free-form and they turned out great. I don't recommend doing that, but it worked this time.

The back.

And the layers still separate!

If you haven't done yarn hair before, then BeccaMarie also has an awesome tutorial for that! I've looked all over the internet for simple tutorials on sewing on doll hair and this is one of the best I've seen. :)

About Me

I'm a stay-at-home mom to two who likes to have fun with messy creative things. Baking, sewing, mod podge, fabric paint, and who knows what else--I just want to try it all. I thought that some of the world might enjoy seeing what I'm up to and draw inspiration from it.
